Buildings 14-17: Norham Mitford Lumley and Brinkburn

These buildings form the “Boys’ Village” together with Building 18 Tredgold Hall and Building 12 Stephenson House. They are primarily residential blocks clustered around the Playing Field and situated on the higher ground at the fringes of the hospital. The buildings were built in 1958, based on designs by Milburn and Partners of Sunderland and the Regional Health Authority Architect P. H. Knighton and following the broad pattern of the ‘colony’ layout as defined in the 1920s.

Building 14, Norham is of different form to the others in this group. It is rectangular in plan with a shorter projecting wing extending perpendicularly from its north-west elevation at the north-eastern corner of the building. It is a brick-built cavity wall building with pitched slate roof. Historic ground plans indicate its specialised function, being labelled ‘Troublesome Villas’. Minor amendments were made to the building in 1978.

Buildings 15 – 17 are all of similar form. The buildings are two-storey cavity-wall construction, with hipped roofs clad in Westmoreland slate. The buildings are rectilinear in plan with perpendicular projecting annex wings extending from the south-west corner to the rear of the buildings. The area immediately west of the buildings is furnished with poured concrete courtyard areas; access to the buildings is from the road loop passing north and west of the buildings.

Building 17, Brinkburn, was selected as representative of this building cluster for internal recording. The ground floor comprises kitchen and dining rooms, day rooms, lavatory and toilet blocks, and store and cloakrooms. The first floor contains multiple-occupancy dormitory rooms and lavatories. As with all buildings, interior fittings had been largely stripped and rooms were subject to vandalism.
